     Selalunya gulai sebegini dipadankan dengan kacang bendi dan juga terung. Namun dalam resepi ini saya menukarkannya dengan buah kundur bagi mendapatkan satu kelainan.

     Usually a dish like this is paired with ladies' fingers and brinjal. However, in this recipe I will swap those out with wintermelon gourd for a twist.

     Buah kundur ni Mil bagi masa hakak balik kampung baru-baru ni. Sebenarnya tatau nak masak apa pun, tambahan Kundur pun hakak tak pernah makan 😅.

     This wintermelon gourd was given to me by my mother-in-law when Sister(I) recently returned to (my) village. Honestly I didn't even know what dishes this could make, Sister(I) have never eaten any dishes with wintermelon gourd either 😅.

     These calls to action were made following the Government of Singapore's decision to start the deshelving of candied wintermelon from Malaysia that were detected as containing (levels of) sulphur dioxide that exceeded the maximum limit set by Singaporean Food Regulations.
